Chapter 432

"What a coincidence, Murphy."

Sitting at the same table, Katherine Zeta Jones took the initiative to say hello to Murphy. They met as early as when Miramax film was running Chicago.

"Yes, Kate." Murphy nodded to her with a smile. "Long time no see. You're more beautiful."

"Thank you."

She introduced Michael Douglas to Murphy, "this is my husband..."

"Oh, I know." Murphy stood up and offered his hand to Michael Douglas. "Hello, Michael. Nice to meet you."

There was a smile on Michael Douglas's long face. "Nice to meet you, too, Murphy."

His smile only stays on the surface, old Robert Downey is very annoying, little Robert Downey is even more annoying, and his best friend Murphy Stanton is also annoying.

Murphy's face is wearing a warm smile, and his calm eyes hide the sharp that others can't detect. Seeing Michael Douglas, who is also wearing a warm smile, he can only think of two things: poison and Robert Downey Jr. in prison.

But Murphy is very clear that the Douglas family is deeply rooted in Hollywood and can not be easily shaken. If we really want to do something, we must carefully plan with Downey.

"Michael, I admire Mr. Kirk Douglas very much." What Murphy said seemed to be true. "May I visit him?"

Michael Douglas frowned slightly, then let go and said politely, "of course, my father is always very hospitable. He likes your black movies very much. He is a loyal fan of you and will welcome you. "

Murphy made a surprise: "it's my pleasure."

At the same time, his head turned quickly, thinking about the father and son, trying to find a place to use, the final conclusion is still poison.

During the whole dinner, Murphy and Michael Douglas talked and laughed, but at the bottom of their hearts, they had been thinking about how to deal with Douglas and his son.

Although Robert Downey Jr. has no concrete evidence to prove that all this is related to them, this kind of thing does not need evidence at all.

After the banquet, due to the relationship between Catherine Zeta Jones, Murphy and Michael Douglas walked out of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel.

There are still a lot of paparazzi and reporters outside the hotel. They see an English Rose, an Oscar winner and a new first-line director come out together and surround them like flies smelling blood. All kinds of problems are thrown at them like money.

Facing these guys' questions, Murphy answered seriously, "yes, Michael and I are very good friends."

Michael Douglas was standing next to him, smiling in front of reporters and paparazzi.

Murphy reached over Michael Douglas's shoulder and replied to another reporter's nomination, "of course I want to work with an Oscar winner. It's absolutely a pleasure to be able to make a movie with a performer like Michael."

Katherine Zeta Jones looks at Murphy and Michael Douglas. She always thinks that something is wrong. Is it too fast for them to get familiar with each other? Is it really so congenial?

It's good to meet a big director! She looked at Murphy, two of them are now obviously on the decline, to get to know a director who can even save little Robert Downey. The advantages are more than the disadvantages.

In the face of media reporters, Michael Douglas's acting skills are no worse than anyone else. He patted Murphy on the shoulder and told reporters, "the homogenization of Hollywood movies is becoming more and more serious. There are too few directors with unique style like Murphy. It is every actor's dream to work with such directors."

Murphy and Michael Douglas look at each other and smile brightly.

At midnight, Murphy returned to Beverly Hills. The next morning, he called Robert Downey Jr. to make an appointment. Then he contacted rose and made an appointment to meet him in the afternoon near old Chinatown.

After lunch, Murphy drove away from Beverly Hills and returned to the familiar downtown slum, which is still dilapidated, showing the real side of America.

Black SUVs cross the narrow streets of old Chinatown. There are fewer Chinese signs on both sides than before. Murphy heard that old Chinatown has become the world of Vietnamese.

"The Vietnamese are ambitious and unruly."

Still in that old bar, Murphy met rose, who had not seen him for a long time. He talked about some situations in the city center. "The Vietnamese also want to intervene in the underground arms trade and the Gu Ke alkali trade in the city center. They have had several conflicts with my people."

Murphy was just listening and didn't express any opinions. He didn't know why. He thought this friend was talking more than before.

The door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a bald black man came in. He first gave Murphy a simple smile, and then said, "here comes Wade Wilson."Ross looked at the bald black man in doubt, obviously did not understand who he was talking about.

Murphy reminded, "here comes Donnie."

Hearing this, the black man laughed and touched his bald head.

"He won't be Wade Wilson next," Murphy joked with the Negro. "He'll soon be Tony Stark."

While he was talking, someone came in. Robert Downey, Jr. was wearing a suit, a pair of sunglasses, and his hair was carefully combed. This formal dress always makes people feel special.

He stood under the headlights in front of the pub, like the protagonist of the movie, spread his hands and said, "Hey, you two dark guys, are you waiting for me? In fact, I've been here a long time. I just don't want to sit here waiting for you. I want you to wait. So I went around old Chinatown and met a Vietnamese "

" shut up, Donny. " Murphy, not interested in who he met, interrupted the wordy guy, pointed to rose and asked, "why, don't you know him?"

"Of course." Little Robert Downey looked at Rose and put away the laughter on his face. "How can I forget rose? We were called the three heroes of the state prison at that time."

"Hi, rose." He waved to rose, "you still look as fierce as before, and how many people's heads have been smashed. I think your experience can be made into a movie. You see, it's directed by Murphy and starred by me. We don't charge you a cent. You go to Hollywood and ask. Is there anything cheaper? "

Rose didn't interrupt little Robert Downey. He took a deep look at him. He stood up and walked over. He stretched out his hands and gave him a hug. Little Robert Downey was a little surprised, but he also gave rose a hug.

Next to him, the bald black man looks at Ross and little Robert Downey holding each other. He keeps touching his shiny bald head. It seems that people have heard before that the true love of his eldest brother is Downey.

Now it seems that there is such a thing.

"Well, you two will talk about it later," Murphy interrupted Ross and Robert Downey Jr. "we'll get down to business now."

Rose and Robert Downey, Jr. sit in front of the bar like Murphy. Murphy asks the bartender to pour them two black beers and says, "Downey has found out the man behind the scenes who framed him for drug trafficking."

The smile and frivolity on little Robert Downey's face disappeared, replaced by the cruel and venomous, "I won't let those bastards go! I'm going to ruin them

Later, he told rose about the lack of evidence he found. Rose nodded his head gently and said, "at that time, I thought it was strange that you were in prison. Nine of the ten Hollywood stars were drug addicts. Why did the Los Angeles police find your head? With your capital at that time, this is not a big deal But the prosecution has been chasing after you until you are sent to prison. There must be someone behind the scenes

"There was a real conflict between my father and Kirk Douglas." Robert Downey, Jr. looks gloomy. "That old fox has made a decision on me..."

At this point, he shook his head. If he hadn't given others the handle, there would have been nothing later.

In fact, being sentenced to prison is not a bad thing. He met Murphy in it, and then his whole life changed. The former little Robert Downey disappeared completely, and a new little Robert Downey was born

If it wasn't for this special experience, it's hard for little Robert Downey to say what he will do in the future? It may sink into a sea of poison, and it's hard to extricate itself

Rose thought for a moment and asked, "what do you want to do?"

He didn't say much. He has decided to participate in it. Although it's not Murphy's business, he has the same friendship with little Robert Downey.

"At the Oscars night party last night," Murphy said faintly, "I met Mr. and Mrs. Michael Douglas and talked to him for a while."

Robert Downey, Jr. said, "the picture of you and him has already appeared in the newspaper."

"If you want to beat a man, you have to know him first." Murphy burst out laughing. "Michael Douglas is a great actor."

"Michael Douglas and his ex-wife have a son, not for Catherine Zeta Jones, but for him and Kirk Douglas..."

Murphy didn't say it, but rose and little Robert Downey understood it.

Three people will be bald black and the bar inside the waiter all out, had a secret conversation, until two hours later, Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. out of the bar, separated.

After another day in Los Angeles, Murphy returned to Paris to continue shooting. (to be continued). )
